Unless you learn the ways of the place you're visiting, even  the most well-meaning tourist can regularly find his oesophagus stuffed  with burning goat. But surely just plain common sense and good manners  will save you, right?Wrong. 1) Extend Your Hand, Palm Outward in Greece <img src="http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/5149/palm1b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> What you think you are saying: "Phew! That was a heck of a moussaka. I'd eat another portion, but I'm completely stuffed." <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /> What you are actually saying: "Phew! That was a heck of a moussaka. I'd eat another portion, but I'm too busy rubbing handfuls of shit in your face." <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sorry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":sorry:" title="Sorry    :sorry:" data-shortname=":sorry:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sorry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":sorry:" title="Sorry    :sorry:" data-shortname=":sorry:" /> What the hell? <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/angry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angry:" title="Angry    :angry:" data-shortname=":angry:" /> In Greece, the "hand out" gesture is known as the moutza, and it dates  back to the time of the Byzantine Empire, when criminals would be  paraded through the streets on horseback, their faces blackened to  indicate their shame. If they were lucky, the blackening agent would  merely be charcoal. If they were unlucky, it would be a substance much,  much worse ...  SHIT, is what we're saying here. Their faces would be covered in SHIT.   If you really want to piss a Greek person off, you can go for the  double moutza, which features both hands splayed above your head.  However, this will also make you look like a backup dancer from Cats, so it's your call. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /> <img src="http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/9944/palm2b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 2) Give the Thumbs-Up In The Middle East <img src="http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/6236/thumb1xq.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> What you think you are saying: "Ayyyyy! I'm the fuckin' Fonz!" <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /> What you are actually saying: "Ayyyyy! I'm going to jam my thumb in your anus!" <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/confused.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" data-shortname=":confused:" /> What the hell?  It's not just the Middle East. This seemingly universal gesture is also  hideously offensive in West Africa and South America, whose citizens  would doubtless get really confused if they ever watched Ebert and Roeper. "This movie is great, Bill! So great that I'd like to anally rape it with my thumb!" The thumbs-up sign has been confusing people for thousands of years.  Contrary to Hollywood legend, Roman gladiators were not spared by a  thumbs-up, but by a hidden thumb. If the origins of both gestures are  linked, we can only assume this meant, "Do not kill the prisoner, he  seems the perfect solution to the emperor's arthritic finger."<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> <img src="http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6383/thumb2hp.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 3) Finish Your Meal In Thailand / The Philippines / China <img src="http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/4172/plate1x.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> What you think you are saying: "This is a delicious meal. I mean it. I'm not the kind of guy who would  lie about something like this. In fact, your meal was so fucking  fabulous that I am going to finish every last morsel and then lick the  plate so bright that it reveals the face of God." <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /> What you are actually saying: "You call yourself a host? I came here for a meal, not some Lilliputian  hors d'oeuvre that wouldn't satisfy a mouse after a sizable brunch. Look  at me. No, in the eyes. You disgust me." <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/eek.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="eek    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/eek.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="eek    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" /> What the hell? It is always important that the host provides you with tasty food.  However, in countries where steak in bleu cheese sauce costs  approximately the same as a lung transplant, it is more important that  the host provides you with enough food. In China, if you finish every last bite of your meal, you are  implying that you weren't given enough. Therefore, even if the meal is  the most sexually delicious thing that has ever slid down your throat,  you should still leave one last morsel on the plate to stare up at you  mournfully while you eye it with ill-concealed resentment. That said, the Orient isn't as uptight as this example suggests. In  China it's considered perfectly good manners to talk with your mouth  full and to burp after your meal. Farting seems to vary according to the  situation and your current company, so ask ahead of time. Lighting the  fart is frowned upon in almost all provinces. <img src="http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/7924/plate2p.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 4) Say "Hi" to a Member of the Opposite Sex in Saudi Arabia <img src="http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/440/hi1j.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> What you think you are saying: "Hi Steve! How's things? Fancy getting a decaf latte?" What you are actually saying: "Hi, Steve! How's things? Fancy booking a hotel room so that I can do immoral sex acts on you in the name of Satan?" <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /> What the hell? According to sharia religious laws, it is deeply immoral for a woman to  greet a man in public, or associate with any man other than her husband  without an escort. In February 2008, one American woman openly conversed  with a man in Starbucks, and was promptly arrested, strip-searched and  forced to sign false confessions.  Though, perhaps this is nitpicking considering women are not allowed  to drive, vote, own shops, testify in court or ride bicycles there.  Bizarrely, it's perfectly fine for women to fly high-powered jet planes,  although they're clearly fucked if they feel like taking a bicycle to  the airport.   The point being, if you're a woman and are planning a move to Saudi  Arabia, offending them with the whole public greeting thing is probably  the least of your problems. <img src="http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/2179/hi2d.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 5) Give an Even Number of Flowers in Russia <img src="http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/7550/flowers1n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> What you think you are saying: "Darling, this week has been the most wonderful of my life. Since I  first felt the sweet joy of your caress, I have truly come to know what  it is to love and to be loved. Please accept these half-dozen roses as a  symbol of my eternal tender devotion." (Lean forward for kiss.) <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /> What you are actually saying: DEATH! DEATH! DEEEEEEAAAAAAAATH!!!!!! (Lean forward for kiss.) <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /> What the hell? In Russia, even numbers of flowers are only ever given at funerals, and  such a gift is seen as inviting death, which you obviously don't want to  do unless you're banging a goth chick. Choosing the right gift seems to be a minefield of morbidity  everywhere you go. Never give a clock to a Chinese person, as the word  "clock" is almost identical to a word for "death." Don't wrap your  present in white paper there either, as this suggests funerals. And for  God's sake, don't give anyone in Bangladesh white flowers or they will  presumably be obliged to buy a spade and bury themselves while muttering  at you reproachfully. You know what, screw giving a gift. You may come across as a selfish  douchebag, but at least no one will hail you as the fourth horseman of  the apocalypse. <img src="http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5026/flowers2g.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 6) Give a Gift With Your Left Hand, Pretty Much Anywhere <img src="http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/1923/gift1g.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> What you think you are saying: "Thank you very much for letting me marry your daughter. She is very  beautiful. In gratitude, please accept this dainty, yet tuneful  instrument. Did I mention that I'm left-handed?" <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /> What you are actually saying: "Thank you very much for letting me marry your daughter. She is the most  worthless heap of dog vomit I have ever encountered, and I dearly wish  that she would die. In gratitude, please accept a generous portion of my  own effluence. Did I mention that I hate you?" <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sorry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":sorry:" title="Sorry    :sorry:" data-shortname=":sorry:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sorry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":sorry:" title="Sorry    :sorry:" data-shortname=":sorry:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sorry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":sorry:" title="Sorry    :sorry:" data-shortname=":sorry:" /> What the hell? Toilet paper may have been around in China since 589 AD, but for much of  the world, it remains a prohibitively expensive luxury. In places such  as India, Sri Lanka, Africa and the whole of the Middle East, doing  anything with your left hand is seen as unclean, as it is (as least  symbolically) your ass-wiping hand. Eating out? Don't even think about using your left hand. It's better  to come across as some kind of retarded monkey child than to imply that  you rate your host's food on the same level as a lightly-steamed  assburger. Of course, poop is not the only reason left-handedness is bad.  According to the Qur'an, Satan himself was a southpaw, which is why he  was able to successfully fool the right-handed batter that is mankind. <img src="http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/6185/gift2y.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 7) Give the "OK" Sign in Brazil <img src="http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/504/ok1s.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> What you think you are saying: "Hi Brazil, I'm US President Richard Nixon, and I'm feeling terrific!" <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /> What you are actually saying: "Hi Brazil, I'm US President Richard Nixon, and I'm feeling that you should all go fuck yourselves!" <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rofl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rofl:" title="ROFL    :rofl:" data-shortname=":rofl:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rofl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rofl:" title="ROFL    :rofl:" data-shortname=":rofl:" /> (Note: The above examples are only valid if you are US President Richard Nixon  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" />) What the hell? In Brazil, the "OK" gesture is roughly equivalent to the finger in the  US, which means you should not use it when your hotel manager asks you  how your room is, unless you want to tell him that it's purple and  velvety and recently molested his wife. The most famous incident of a misapplied "OK" sign was, in fact,  Nixon's visit to Brazil in the '50s. While alighting from the aircraft,  he lifted both hands to the cameras and double-fingered the entire  nation. Nixon went on to greet the Brazilian Prime minister with a  savage kick to the testicles, and concluded his visit by urinating from  the window of a moving limousine. If you're visiting Brazil, you should also never touch any food with  your fingers. Even stuff like pizzas and burgers should be eaten with a  knife and fork. Not that you'll ever need to apply this knowledge,  because after reading this article, you'd be insane if you ever travel  abroad again. <img src="http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7930/ok2ti.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> source- <a href="http://www.cracked.com/article_16335_7-innocent-gestures-that-can-get-you-killed-overseas.html" target="_blank">http://www.cracked.com/article_16335_7-innocent-gestures-that-can-get-you-killed-overseas.html</a> </blockquote>
